1.3.2 – Built-In Breaker
PHI batteries with threaded stud connections (such as battery models PHI 3.8, PHI 2.9, PHI 3.5, etc.) are outtted with a
hydraulic/magnetic circuit breaker. This breaker increases safety during shipping and installations and allows the battery to
effectively be turned “OFF” or “ON.” The breaker works in conjunction with the battery’s built-in BMS and creates additional
safety, efciency and functionality in the overall power storage system.

NOTE: Not all PHI Battery models (such as the PHI 1.4, PHI 2.9 Lo-Prole, PHI 1.2 High Output, etc.) include built-in
breakers. In either case, circuit breakers, disconnects and fuses should be employed throughout several points of a power
storage and generation installation to effectively isolate and protect all components of the system to safeguard against
faults, short circuits, polarity reversals or a failure of any component in the overall system. Fuses, breakers, wiring ratings
and values should be determined by established electrical codes and standards and evaluated by certied electricians,
licensed installers, and regional code authorities.
